Bible and the TV Guide

On the table side by side

The Holy Bible and the T.V. guide.

One is well worn but cherished with pride

(not the Bible, but the T.V. guide).

One is used daily to help folk decide.

No! its not the Bible, but the T.V. guide.

As pages are turned, what do they see?

Oh, what does it matter, turn on the T.V.

The confusion reigns; they can’t all agree

On what they shall watch on the ole T.V.

So they open the book in which they confide

(no its not the Bible, it’s the T.V. guide).

The word of God is seldom read

Maybe a verse ere they fall into bed.

Exhausted and sleepy and tired as can be,

Not from reading the Bible, from watching T.V.

So, then back to the table, side by side,

Is the Holt Bible and the T.V. guide.

No time for prayer, no time for the word,

The plan of salvation is seldom heard.

Forgiveness of sin so full and free

Is found in the Bible, not on T.V.

Let Me

Let me know

What I can do

to help when something

troubles you….

 

Let me try

The best I can

To share with you

A hope or plan…

 

Let me feel your hopes___

                your fears____

share your laughter

and your tears…

 

When life is troubling

Don’t forget me

I’ll be there

If you’d just let me!

Mothers are Like Angels

Mothers are like angels

Who brighten our days

In all kinds of wonderful,

Magical ways

 

Their thoughtfulness comes

As a gift from above

And we feel were surrounded

By warm caring love.

 

Like upside-down rainbows,

Their smiles bring the sun,

And they fill ho-hum moments

With laughter and fun.

 

Mothers are like angels

Without any wings

Blessing our lives

With the most precious things.

 

God's Rainbow

The falling rain dissolves into mist

And the thunder begins to die

As the sporadic lightning fades

An arch of color pours from the sky.

 

Rainbows appear after mighty storms

When things look their worst

Just when the sky is darkest gray,

Out of Heaven does a rainbow burst.

 

God first sent the rainbow to Noah

As a sign that His word is true

The rainbow's eternal message

Still speaks to me and you.

 

The rainbow is a sign of God's promise

That He will guide us through any storm

That He will ease all our troubles,

No matter what their form.

 

When you feel battered by life's storms

And you are filled with doubt and dismay

Just remember God's rainbow is coming,

For blessing, you have only to pray.

 

Where is God?

There was a little boy,

On the week's first day,

Coming home from Sunday School

And wandering on the way.

 

He scuffed his shoes into the grass

And found a caterpillar.

He found a fluffy milkweed pod

And blew out all the filler.

 

A bird's nest in a tree above,

So wisely placed on high,

Was just another wonder

That caught his eager eye.

 

A neighbor watched his crooked course

And hailed him from the lawn.

He asked him where he'd been that day

And what was going on.

 

"I've been to Sunday School," he said

As he turned a piece of sod,

And picking up a worm, he smiled,

"I've learned a lot from God!"

 

"That's a fine way," the neighbor said,

"For a boy to spend his time.

"Now if you can tell me where God is,

I'll give you a brand new dime."

 

Quick as a flash the answer came,

The boy said without complaint,

"I'll give you a dollar, Mister,

If you can tell me where God ain't!"
